Furniture

Before donating your unwanted sofa and other furnishing items, please be aware of The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989, 1993 and 2010) which set levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery.
This means that charities selling soft furnishings to the general public for fundraising purposes cannot accept sofas that do not have their fire label attached.

If your sofa does not have the fire safety label attached, contact the charity beforehand to ensure they can accept it, as they may be able to donate it instead.
